[F1 to get clipped]In my 'how do you like my balls now?' piece, I said that paying millions for F1

Bernie, always the promoter, is now telling the world that it would terrible to have Formula 1 only on pay tv. I foresee riots in the streets. xD
Well, then, perhaps Formula 1 should ask for a lot less than 40 million a year.not to.

Otherwise, chop it. These are tough times.
